Guiding Question 2 6 Can we achieve perpetual motion by invoking the magic of electromagnetism? Electromagnetism is a fundamental force where electric currents generate magnetic fields, influencing current carrying conductors and moving charges, and enabling motors. A changing magnetic field induces a current, which in turn produces another magnetic field, potentially continuing the cycle. Can we use principles of electromagnetism & EMI to create a machine forever without external energy? Cause → Effect RelaƟonships 1. Motion of Magnet • Towards coil: • S-pole → DeflecƟon leŌ, N-pole → DeflecƟon right • Away from coil: • S-pole → DeflecƟon right, N-pole → DeflecƟon leŌ 2. Speed of Movement • Slow push/pull → Small deflecƟon, Fast push/pull → Large deflecƟon • Shows: Induced current ∝ Rate of change of magnetic flux 3. Number of Turns • (10 turns → Small, 20 turns → Larger, 40 turns → Largest) deflecƟon • Shows: Induced current ∝ Number of turns 7 Key Conclusions 1.Magnitude of induced current depends on: – Rate of change of magnetic flux – Number of coil turns 2.Direction of induced current depends on: – Direction of magnet movement – Pole orientation 8 5 6 7 8

Loop 1 swings back and forth as the bob on a pendulum, loop 2 rotates about a vertical axis and loop 3 oscillates verticall y on the end of a spring. Which loop(s) have a magnetic flux that changes with time? Only loop 2 has a changing magnetic flux as its orientation relative to the field, thus B┴, changes as it rotates. Since the magnetic field is uniform, moving loop 1 back and forth or moving loop 3 up and down does not change the magnetic flux through the loop, that is, the magnetic flux does not depend on the loop’s position. (Here, the magnetic field is directed into the plane of page. It is directed out of page in lecture notes.) 1 = B┴ A Example 2 Initial magnetic flux linkage, (N)i = N B A cos θ = 10(2.0)(0.35) cos 0o = 7.0 Wb Final magnetic flux linkage, (N)f = 0 Change in magnetic flux linkage (N)f – (N)i = 0 – 7.0 = −7.0 Wb A coil of 10 turns and area 0.35 m2 is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of density 2.0 T as shown in the diagram on the left. Points P and Q are pulled apart until the coil becomes a straight line as shown in the diagram on the right. What is the change in magnetic flux linkage through the coil? 2 DEMO Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law 3 infer from appropriate experiments on electromagnetic induction: i. that a changing magnetic flux can induce an e.m.f. ii. that the direction of the induced e.m.f. opposes the change producing it iii.the factors affecting the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. d. recall and solve problems using Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and Lenz’slaw e. Electromagnetic Induction Faraday’s Lawof electromagnetic induction states that the induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux linkage. 4 The negative sign is explained by Lenz’s law. We can drop the sign when we are only interested in the magnitude of the e.m.f. It indicates that the direction of the induced e.m.f. always opposes the change in magnetic flux linkage.

Lenz’s law is not written separately but combined with Faraday’s law to form an equation. 5 ( ) ( cos )d N d NBA dt dt The negative sign represents that the direction of the induced current is always such that the magnetic field due to the current opposes the change in the magnetic flux that induces the current.
